Sugar Monkey is ridiculously creative. I have no doubt that he'll grow up and work in a field where imagination is key, such as a chef or musician. One day, I got a package in the mail, and Sugar Monkey asked if he could have the box. He eagerly took it to his room, opened all the sides, colored it, glued things to it, and climbed inside. He found a plastic dome that as part of another toy and placed the dome on his head. Then he came out and presented us with an astronaut inside of his very own rocket. He had a control panel for guiding the rocket, his space helmet, and was ready for travel. It was incredible.
In fact All-Star was kind of jealous. He asked for a similar box, but was quite disappointed that he couldn't devise a rocket as well as his brother. It was quite a testimony to the originality that Sugar Monkey produced.
And even know, his favorite activities involve modeling clay, cooking in the kitchen, creating artwork, or making jewelry for his mom. He loves decorating his room, much to his mother's chagrin, with stickers on the doors, and doodles taped everywhere. And it's just pretty darn incredible that being sent to his room is never a death sentence because he always has his imagination. Love that.
